Inflicting incurable wounds
That are ever 'hopeless' to heal
Backing abominable crimes,
Which they would have cursed
And banned for themselves.

Frightful vileness of mortals,
Slaying innocent and unsheltered lives
Inducing untold anguish that this side
Of the grave will not heal,
Procuring pain that the greatest
Human heart cannot relieve...

Dying faces, bringing undying doom
To unseen, spry and bright-eyed
Tiny sufferers and victims...

O, ugly and hostile seedbeds!
Babes unborn and blameless
Ending lives in gory vessels...
O, unsightly... bloody spectacle!
O, choice unfair... unfair price...
O, robbery heartless and eternal!

Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D.
